In 2017 NTSB released a study that found that Speed – and therefore speeding – increases crash risk in two ways: (1) it increases the likelihood of being involved in a crash, and (2) it increases the severity of injuries sustained by all road users in a crash and that Automated speed enforcement (ASE) is also widely acknowledged as an effective countermeasure to reduce speeding-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries.

HB 2409 EN – Photo Red Light Speed – This measure authorizes cities to operate photo red light cameras to record and cite drivers who speed in excess of 11 miles per hour over the speed limit. The measure prohibits a city from issuing both a speeding ticket and a ticket for running a red light unless a driver exceeds the speed limit by more than 21 miles per hour. This will go into effect in October 2017.
